Lost my wallet after the card show......... $240 cash and a D & B card w/ 16,000 redeemable tickets (on a card). Sh*t.

Oh man ... I'm sorry, guy. Hopefully at least your wallet will be returned, even without the cash. Have you cancelled any credit cards that were in it?

halomaster1 · April 2, 2005 10:06AM

I'm 14, dont have credit cards. That was all my money, and now I'm 100% bankrupt..... dont know whats gonna happen now, might have to sell everything or just work my ass off to get it back...... somehow.......

Mac53 · April 2, 2005 11:27AM

Look at it this way. I'd give just about anything to be 14 and broke!

halomaster1 · April 2, 2005 11:34AM

Yeah, I guess you're right........ but my one of my friends freakin LOOOOVEs to go out and eat almost every damn day of the weekend (including Fridays), with a million people at the diner, cafe, pizza, chinese, everything, and now I probably cant go as much....... ah well, whatever. I'd get fat.

halo, you can still go...he's buying for a while!

sorry bout your wallet

halomaster1 · April 2, 2005 2:48PM

yea, thanks

yeah that bites. I carry my wallet in front right pocket along with my car keys. Left front pocket has my business cards, home keys and knife. Don't carry your wallet in your back pocket, too easy to fall out or get stolen. Tell your friends to go to McDonalds and shop off the $1 menu!

hehe thanks kingraider. the pair of pants i wore that day had very small (and loose) pockets, and the one with my wallet had the cell and then the wallet on top....... stupid thing to do I guess lol

wow that sucks.. if i had any more 1960 topps PSA stuff, i'd try to help you out some..

BTW: i had no idea you were 14 years old.. nice that you collect a vintage set!

How did you have $240 left AFTER the show. I've never walked out of a show with more than $5 in my pocket

gregm - Yeah, I know........ but this show i was very particular with grades and all....... i used to walk in w/ around $200 and leave with nothing, but this time was very different. I WISH i spent it all, so at least if i lost the wallet afterwards, i would still have all the cards and just a missing 16,000-ticket Dave & Busters card and a $10 wallet.

pandrews - thanks, i got into vintage from collecting too much modern stuff really. they produce way too much of this stuff, and its way too easy to come by. i like the challenge of going for a full set, getting things graded, etc...... also, i can make some cash this way so i can go out and eat w/ the pals and gals heh

Too bad about your wallet. It's probably happened to many of us at one time or another. I haven't carried money in my wallet for over 30 years. I use a money clip and carry it in my front pocket. It's great to see you collecting vintage. [I guess that makes me vintage as I was 12 in 1960!!] Are you also interested in the history of the game? There are some great books out there.

Have you checked with security at the place where you think you may have lost it? Called the local PD? Sometimes people who find things like that are nicer than you might expect.

halomaster1 · April 4, 2005 7:02AM

Ripken - called Wendy's, went back to Wendy's, called PD, nothing, called card show, went back to card show, searched every corner in house...... its gone, unless someone is nice enough to return it to the local PD.

Oh well, live and learn... bet you'll never let that happen again...
